I hope she moved on, especially because he posted his feelings on social media instead of communicating with her effectively.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that you go on 1 date at a time but it does mean that either we’re progressing or going our separate ways. Talking IMO allows men to idle in your life. Labels for me are important and they stop men from using that ambiguity to their advantage and wasting your time
When I was single, a wise woman told me when I was single to never give the girlfriend package for the friendship price, and never give the wife package for the girlfriend price! Some of the best advice I got while dating! I’ve been happily married to my homie for 6 years and three babies later! Cooking, cleaning and big gifts didn’t happen until I got that ring baby!!….She’s absolutely taking a stand! Good for her!

We are always quick to stack blame solely on a black women’s shoulders. Why do we consistently let others get a pass but not black women? Ugh. 2024 gonna be another year of dragging us 🤦🏾♀️

@@destinylove1673the musical was created in 2006 and is HIGHLY acclaimed. Fantasia, Danielle Brookes were in some iterations of the broadway cast, and the cinematic production was a huge opportunity for them, and many others. This wasn’t just some useless musical cash grab. It was amazing. By the way, the Director of this one is black and the original Director Steven Spielberg is very much not. SO… so many reasons to support this.
@@jojoant5928 no, bc I don’t want to see it and it was too soon for a remake. I’m tired of Hollywood capitalizing off of remakes that we don’t need. We deserve to have new stories told…
@@destinylove1673 I wholeheartedly agree! They should have taken a poll of the black community to see how many people would go to the theaters to see a remake. If they had, they would have never wasted their money. They arrogantly thought that Oprah's perceived clout would make black people turn out. Not! Oprah doesn't have the influence she once had on our community. Her "Glory" days are over!
The food guy said the girl has a character flaw and he saw her differently but he still continued dealing with her. Obviously it didn’t bother him that much 🙄
When men do that it means she's either a) a placeholder until "the one" arrives or b) he intends to humble her. The fact that he was willing to put this on blast on the internet and say all that knowing the woman would see it makes me think it's the latter. The same way all these trad men don't want trad women, they want to humble independent women. These men aren't interested in meeting their match, they are interested in breaking in the women they don't like.
Thank you for explaining the Oprah situation 🙌🏾 This breakdown is what the people need to have a better understanding. Definitely gave me a better insight into this situation. I completely agree with you.
Happy Jonathan Luther King Jr. Day 😂😂…Jessie…I’m hollering 😂🤣😂. I keep playing that over and over again…I can’t stop laughing. Happy MLK Day to you Jess on a serious note Seesta!!
I agree there were a lot of things that should have been discussed during the contact negotiations sessions. Some of the blame definitely has to be assigned to the support team of these actors.
Idk if I was producing a project, I would assure the industry that the product is presented will be there to completion, which includes basics; travel, food, and housing. Pay is another thing that is negotiated through agents, etc. I'm just trying to understand.
At the level that Oprah is on, do people really think she is actually doing the day to day things that it takes to get these things done? She has a team of probably hundreds. Definitely, the ball was dropped, but to think she's aware of the nuances of the production.
I don't think people expect her to personally coordinate anything- only that it's unheard of how they were treated AND she is so influential and one of the richest people on the earth.
@@indigophoenixskies1030She wasn’t the executive producer. She wasn’t the the operations manager for the studio. She was just a figurehead. This was the studio’s fault, the set was in the middle of the swamp, they cut corners.
@@steph_880It was not. Oprah is not even an executive producer. She is nothing more than a paid creative consultant on this project. This is a Warner Bros studio financed film. They hired the team that did the general day to day work. The studio is the one that decides where the money goes because it’s their money. Oprah likely hadn’t even seen a budget to know what was being spent on what because that’s not what she was hired to do. Ppl just have no understanding of how studio financed films work which is the sole issue.
I agree with Mo’Nique…always. However, after seeing Beyoncé’s Renaissance film…Beyonce showed us you can have the money and power…ppl working for you will still try to get over and do what they want to do. So, I wouldn’t put all of the blame on Oprah. The actors bringing out issues is not the reason the movie has flopped…I’ve seen it, but I understand…black ppl are struggling in real life…we don’t need to spend money to see struggle.
I was just about to comment that !! I think the Renaissance Film also showed me there’s so many moving parts and sometimes you trust people to take care of things. You can’t do everything on your own so the failings of this movie set are not on Oprah. It’s sad she’s getting blamed. I think people also have this mindset that because these people are rich beyond measure that they can have free rein over all. That’s not true. Oprah has people she gotta answer to, so does Beyoncé , Jay Z and others. Everyone got a “boss” in some sense so some things are out of your control
46:58 there’s Uber eats and grubhub. A man of value wouldn’t ask her to bring him food. But on the other hand, if I were dating him I wouldn’t mind cooking for him. They can share a meal together. It’s weird to ask her to be your free Uber eats and not ask or offer if she was hungry too. So she would just come over to your house with your Wendy’s and she would watch you eat while he watches sports highlights? Doesn’t seem like a good evening
Objectivity is seemingly so rare these days. It's like people are no longer willing to give people the benefit of the doubt and study the bigger picture. But then again, people ain't shit, and so I guess I get why everyone is so willing to believe it when someone is accused of being deviant 🤷🏾♀️ You're not caping Jessie, you're objective...stay that way!
We'll just have to adjust to the duality of our "heroes". Tyler Perry is infinitely magnanimous, but he MAY have been abusive (at least to certain actors). Oprah might be self-serving, but she's done her bit and mentored so many. So on and so forth. Black people need to realize, we're people like everyone else. But because we put so much burden on a few, we cut them off at the ankles - and then we have no one at all. Take it all with a grain of salt, and don't depend on anyone. Instead put it on yourself to create and this way every support that comes you way will be a bonus.
Who has Oprah mentor ??? I hope u not talking bout those girls from Africa that comes up missing from that so called school . When y’all going to stop giving people passes because the are rich and u are not so u idolize them right is right wrong is wrong
I did for Years. Then I started putting it in for a vacation day every year right after the holiday. Sometimes I’d work Christmas and New Year’s Eve but always take MLK.
I would never even have friends over without having a little drinky drink, a little snacky snack to offer them. Nobody is going hungry while in my household. But he had the audacity to have her come all the way to his place, having nothing in his pantry, nothing in his fridge and not worried about whether she's hungry or not, AND ask her to pick HIM some food. It wasn't in his heart to even ask her if she wanted something?
I also want to point out that if you want to hear the story of Monique’s experience of the Precious movie, please go watch the 2 interviews she did on Sway in the Morning show she did years ago.
Wow! I didn’t realize all the big name producers associated with The Color Purple. Thanks for breaking it down. With people like Steven Spielberg and Quincy Jones as just two of the producers, not to mention the names I can't remember, Oprah sure shouldn't be the only person getting the blame.
They going to keep playing in our faces till we stand up for ourselves in our work place and relationships. Thank you for your deep analysis on everything you speak on. Love you keep doing gods work on Haitians woman’s we’re not gonna keep letting them play in our face month🙏🏽🤍 Praying for you sista🙏🏽🤍
If I ask Friends/Family to buy me something while they're out I immediately follow it by "I will send you the money". They usually say don't worry about it because we don't keep score and they know I would do the same but its just manners to offer to pay if someone's going out of their way for you. Same applies to dating, especially as a man and what food cost $20?
“Why isn’t she your girlfriend?” BINGO!!! You drop so many Gems ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I’m more so concerned about the Gold patches under his eye. He’s giving scam these women and let me see my man. It’s giving January Cap or WATER SIGN Pisces!!!!!
Taraji has worked with Tyler Perry before and has said in her 2019 Variety interview that, he was the first one to pay her the half a million she asked for.
If the man has been so generous in the past, why could he not have said, He could said, “I am going to cash app or zell you money to pick up food for the both of us. That would show his continued generosity.
Praying for you on your oral care journey. I really had 8 teeth removed (4 were wisdom teeth). I’m not going to lie… recovering kinda sucked but you’ll be fine in a few weeks. And eventually it will be all done and behind you. The implant process wasn’t nearly as hard. I’m super nervous with dentist… but I made it through and you will too.
Jessie you are sooo talented love your Channel . I look forward to listening to you.your the best Happy Reverend Martin Luther King Day. Celebrate on Purpose Queen.
I think it should be clear that Mo'Nique had no issues until she was being PRESSURED to do the promotions. When they asked the first two times SHE SAID SHE TOLD THEM she was on FAMILY TIME. As they proceeded to PUSH THE ISSUE, that was when she started asking WHAT IS THE OFFER... Great job Jessie but I believe this is important. Also, I believe, the WAY Oprah addressed the issue or failed to is why she is being "blamed"... all she did was DEFEND HERSELF. Imagine if she had said, "I stepped in and assisted when called upon but I am disappointed that this was their experience, as one of the producers that was not my area of focus but it should have never happened that way" but she didn't she simply defended herself and showed up the hero... I think that is what Mo'Nique was saying. Just a thought
What about Lee Daniels and Tyler Perry though???? They haven't addressed any of this at all. Once again, a black woman is getting the majority of the heat and being left to defend herself. While the black men get off Scot-free.
@@NamasteInYourLane are those two also on this production? Wow... didnt realize that. If that's the case, fair enough. I'm not saying Oprah should take all the responsibility, all I'm saying is she could've said more than self defense... uniting with the cast against those responsible... but perhaps that's what she did, the best way she.knew how. Thanks!
That’s really all she had to say, that it was unacceptable that any of it happened. Even if people are trying to hold all the producers accountable (which is fair), I am still side eyeing Oprah because she is the most easily accessible person in power for the cast to reach out to, is the face of the producers (her name is first in the trailer/been doing promo with the cast) and has been in the media/entertainment industry since the late 1970s. It’s unheard of that a film with a $100 million budget doesn’t have craft services, pays poorly, doesn’t have a travel coordinator/on-set transportation etc.
I think Oprah is definitely being unfairly blamed in this instance. First off, Oprah is on a TEAM of producers. A LOT of people are involved in producing a big budget film like this one. She said early on that her role was primarily promotion. I feel very confident in saying that Oprah was NOT a line producer. Her job was not to handle logistics and day to day operations (i.e. cars, food, trailers). Which is why when she was made aware of it, because again- it was not her job- she had it handled. Do we honestly believe that she didn't care about the ladies having food and trailers? Big named ladies at that?? It's not even logical. Do we believe that big named producers like Spielberg (also on this film), Michael Bay or James Cameron are down there to craft services setting up things?? No they aren't. And that wasn't her job either. ---This is a Warner Bros production. I've personally never heard anyone involved with an OWN production (e.g. cast from Greenleaf or Queen Sugar) say they didn't have basics like food or trailers. And those of us who have seen Oprah’s productions and events since the 90s, knows that this isn’t even on brand for her. When Oprah is PERSONALLY overseeing things on her own productions, she’s very detailed. She doesn’t half step. This is a studio issue.
I think Oprah being last on that list is why she kept asking "how did I even get in this conversation?!" Lol! You got 17 other people before you get to me. 😂
I strongly believe that you are definitely the right fit for TGIF with fox soul ❤ you are definitely a perfect candidate you are exactly what they need ….
Thanks journalist Jessie Woo. Great break down of the issues with production on the color purple. I’ve had similar sentiments on why the only Black woman producer getting all the blame. I actually feel like she’s taking the fall for the studio and especially since she’s been out there with these actresses doing their press run. No other producer have come out to back her up neither
🥳 Happy Jonathan Luther Kang Day Sisa! 😅🤣🤣🤣 I think for some reason people (the broader public) didn't take Mo'Nique seriously. They were 🤡 her! So, after every Black woman who spoke up after Mo'Nique, I wonder (every time) why didn't ppl take Monique as seriously as you? Is it because she was a comedian AND a Black woman? Is it because she speaks a certain way? Perceived class? Maybe it's a combination of all of the above I don't know. I also wonder if people are taking Mo'Nique more seriously today in relation to all the other women speaking up since or if it's just fake lip service.
I think most people like compassion. Monique is a very direct person you either love or hate her. A lot of ppl like to sugar coat and use sympathy. Instead of listening to Monique message they wanted to sympathize with her but couldn’t because she was not emotional. I always stood with Monique because I’m around direct people all the time. When you’re around people like that you learn to listen to the message without your feelings clouding judgement.
The fact that these producers have been part of huge films means they know better when it comes to how actors etc are treated. That’s why they kind of made O the face of the production. Warner Bros?? Warner Bros? The WB that has been around since the 1920s and still able to stay afloat in a very precarious economic climate? This treatment of the black actors was wilfully cruel, @TheJessieWoo ❤❤❤
Unpopular opinion. I think Taraji should have waited afterwards to voice her valid complaints because the negative press is hurting the movie and it's dimming Fantasia's moment too. However, the disappointment may come from the fact that a Black women of Oprah's statue is present and these Black Women are still experiencing substandard treatment. They may blackball her after this.
38:30 I have been wondering this for A WHILE. I never heard anyone say anything bad about working with him and I was always curious about the pay and the culture (I'm from the NYC and now South Florida industry). I have a theory as to why that is: because Tyler Perry shoots his movies in 2-3 weeks, instead of your typical 8-12 weeks, he is saving millions of dollars of set time. So its absolutely NOTHING for him to take 50k-100k of those savings and spoil your cast and crew. Which is great. BUT... Its good and bad. Not taking the proper time to film, can leave you with a lot of goofs and mistakes that other films just don't have. For example, in "a fall from grace", the boom pole was in the shots, in the background, extras were drinking out of empty glasses, eating with no food on their forks... when you rush, you make mistakes. Also, we all know TP doesn't spend longer than 12 seconds on hair and makeup. So. There are drawbacks. Don't want to spend the time and money, then you end up with a subpar product.
I really think ppl should see the movie before criticizing it. Stating things like the IMDb may include ppl from the original without seeing the movie is spreading more false news.
Whoopi was in this version of color purple.. it was a egg that was planted in the beginning of the movie.. everybody in the theater I was in screamed when we saw her pop up lol
"I pay for your flights", etc. is meant as a flex. Unintentionally revealed: he has money to fly or drive to see a woman, for quality food from supermarkets, restaurants (incl/ delivery), but will NOT exert energy/effort FOR her. He's upset she noticed his selfish entitlement- he wants to inconvenience her further yet says she's only someone he's "been dealing with".
With Oprah being who she is, I doubt her role as a producer involved arranging transport and catering. Well below her pay grade and probably not on her radar at all.
Hey Jessie! I watched Black Cake and loved it. Couldn’t stand the non authentic Jamaican patois but I loved the storyline. I’m looking forward to your review. If you liked Black Cake, I want to recommend another series called Three Little Birds that beautifully tells the story of the windrush generation and their experiences after travelling from Jamaica (and other Caribbean islands) to the UK in the 1950’s. It’s shot well and even though season 1 focuses on Jamaica, I’m pretty sure the series will expand to tell the stories of other islands as well. Hoping you are able to watch. It was difficult for me to find it because it a British series on itv but if you’re able to somehow find it, I highly recommend! ❤
On point AS USUAL Jessie! This was SO helpful, thank you! FAVOR PLEASE? Can you do a tutorial on this makeup look during this Jonathan Luther King Majors Black Panamanian Haitian Ghanaian Womens Year or no🤔? Plez 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾. If not, what eye shadow are you rocking today? The makeup is makeupING!
I adore you Jessie❤ first off, why did Kerry get her pay day for Scandal but no one else got their pay days? Also, if the grown ass man has Uber eats, doordash or grub hub in his phone, he needs to go somewhere!
I think most of the top billing actors on Shonda’s projects all got their pay days. I noticed that when it comes to Shondaland: she makes sure her actors, especially the black lead actors are well paid.
Where’s the value of being the first or only black person in the room if you’re not going to pave the way and or impact change. Lady O has a joint venture with WBD, she’s extremely POWERFUL! She knows the CEO personally, so again she’s extremely powerful.
Thank you ! Finally a content creator that does their research before just jumping on the bandwagon and trashing Oprah. Oprah definitely bears some responsibility but she is getting ALL the blame (especially from our own community). I find it interesting that people are having a hard time saying the other producers names. I hate to say it but it’s giving that people are scared to call out men. I understand Monique wanting to hold Oprah to task, that’s fine, but when Sydney chimed in I was hoping he was going to call out Steven Spielberg and Quincy Jones. I was never one of those people that considered Oprah powerful and certainly not Hollywood powerful. IMO, Oprah made her wealth by staying away from Hollywood - they never liked nor respected her. Keeping her show in Chicago insulated her. Throughout her career she’s always been disrespected by white and black media. Hell, if she was powerful the other producers (or their PR teams) would have released a statement to back her up. Because if Steven Spielberg would’ve been getting this heat, all the production and distribution companies involved would’ve released a statement apologizing
regarding the video… my question would be she’s willing to give up the cookies but hitting the drive thru is where she draws the line? 😂 we gotta be fair here lol. that meal is cheaper than potential childcare
Taraji was in so many critically acclaimed films: Hustle&Flow, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Hidden Figures, Proud Mary, not to mention Empire was one of the biggest tv shows ever I don’t see how anyone could say she’s asking for too much

When men do that it means she's either a) a placeholder until "the one" arrives or b) he intends to humble her. The fact that he was willing to put this on blast on the internet and say all that knowing the woman would see it makes me think it's the latter. The same way all these trad men don't want trad women, they want to humble independent women. These men aren't interested in meeting their match, they are interested in breaking in the women they don't like.
Thank you for explaining the Oprah situation 🙌🏾
This breakdown is what the people need to have a better understanding.
Definitely gave me a better insight into this situation.
I completely agree with you.
JESSIE!!!! YOUR SO FUNNY THE WAY I SCREAMED. WHEN YOU SAID “HAPPY JONATHAN LUTHER KING JR DAY”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅
Happy Jonathan Luther King Jr. Day 😂😂…Jessie…I’m hollering 😂🤣😂. I keep playing that over and over again…I can’t stop laughing. Happy MLK Day to you Jess on a serious note Seesta!!
I agree there were a lot of things that should have been discussed during the contact negotiations sessions. Some of the blame definitely has to be assigned to the support team of these actors.
Idk if I was producing a project, I would assure the industry that the product is presented will be there to completion, which includes basics; travel, food, and housing. Pay is another thing that is negotiated through agents, etc. I'm just trying to understand.
It's tacky to expect her to pay for your food, unless she has offered. Just my opinion.
Jess is too funny. Love her 😂😂😂😂😂
At the level that Oprah is on, do people really think she is actually doing the day to day things that it takes to get these things done? She has a team of probably hundreds. Definitely, the ball was dropped, but to think she's aware of the nuances of the production.
Was it her production team?
My thoughts exactly. I just can't see her organizing things like drivers and catering. She needs to find out who was responsible and replace them
I don't think people expect her to personally coordinate anything- only that it's unheard of how they were treated AND she is so influential and one of the richest people on the earth.
@@indigophoenixskies1030She wasn’t the executive producer. She wasn’t the the operations manager for the studio. She was just a figurehead. This was the studio’s fault, the set was in the middle of the swamp, they cut corners.
@@steph_880It was not. Oprah is not even an executive producer. She is nothing more than a paid creative consultant on this project. This is a Warner Bros studio financed film. They hired the team that did the general day to day work. The studio is the one that decides where the money goes because it’s their money. Oprah likely hadn’t even seen a budget to know what was being spent on what because that’s not what she was hired to do. Ppl just have no understanding of how studio financed films work which is the sole issue.
Woopie actually made a cameo in the film ...that's why her name was in the credits
I agree with Mo’Nique…always. However, after seeing Beyoncé’s Renaissance film…Beyonce showed us you can have the money and power…ppl working for you will still try to get over and do what they want to do. So, I wouldn’t put all of the blame on Oprah. The actors bringing out issues is not the reason the movie has flopped…I’ve seen it, but I understand…black ppl are struggling in real life…we don’t need to spend money to see struggle.
That part 👏🏾 👏🏾 and and it’s a musical
I was just about to comment that !! I think the Renaissance Film also showed me there’s so many moving parts and sometimes you trust people to take care of things. You can’t do everything on your own so the failings of this movie set are not on Oprah. It’s sad she’s getting blamed. I think people also have this mindset that because these people are rich beyond measure that they can have free rein over all. That’s not true. Oprah has people she gotta answer to, so does Beyoncé , Jay Z and others. Everyone got a “boss” in some sense so some things are out of your control
46:58 there’s Uber eats and grubhub. A man of value wouldn’t ask her to bring him food. But on the other hand, if I were dating him I wouldn’t mind cooking for him. They can share a meal together. It’s weird to ask her to be your free Uber eats and not ask or offer if she was hungry too.
So she would just come over to your house with your Wendy’s and she would watch you eat while he watches sports highlights? Doesn’t seem like a good evening
It was a character flaw of his rearing its head sooner than later 😂
Objectivity is seemingly so rare these days. It's like people are no longer willing to give people the benefit of the doubt and study the bigger picture. But then again, people ain't shit, and so I guess I get why everyone is so willing to believe it when someone is accused of being deviant 🤷🏾♀️
You're not caping Jessie, you're objective...stay that way!
She's also likely more informed because she's in the industry.
I hate that Jesse’s talent brought her to Hollywood. This world is too ugly for a soul like Jesse.
We'll just have to adjust to the duality of our "heroes". Tyler Perry is infinitely magnanimous, but he MAY have been abusive (at least to certain actors). Oprah might be self-serving, but she's done her bit and mentored so many. So on and so forth. Black people need to realize, we're people like everyone else. But because we put so much burden on a few, we cut them off at the ankles - and then we have no one at all. Take it all with a grain of salt, and don't depend on anyone. Instead put it on yourself to create and this way every support that comes you way will be a bonus.
Who has Oprah mentor ??? I hope u not talking bout those girls from Africa that comes up missing from that so called school . When y’all going to stop giving people passes because the are rich and u are not so u idolize them right is right wrong is wrong
I am black and am getting ready for work while watching this. It just ain’t right 😩
AND they offering ✨overtime✨
I did for Years. Then I started putting it in for a vacation day every year right after the holiday. Sometimes I’d work Christmas and New Year’s Eve but always take MLK.
@@deborahfrederick916right next year, please put in PTO for jMLKday and Juneteenth
Same 😢
Happy Martin Luther King Day, everyone ❤
Appreciated the balanced breakdown on the Monique / Oprah situation, and agree with everything you said 100%
I would never even have friends over without having a little drinky drink, a little snacky snack to offer them. Nobody is going hungry while in my household. But he had the audacity to have her come all the way to his place, having nothing in his pantry, nothing in his fridge and not worried about whether she's hungry or not, AND ask her to pick HIM some food. It wasn't in his heart to even ask her if she wanted something?
“You need to be in the fields” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 girl I’m screaming
I also want to point out that if you want to hear the story of Monique’s experience of the Precious movie, please go watch the 2 interviews she did on Sway in the Morning show she did years ago.
Wow! I didn’t realize all the big name producers associated with The Color Purple. Thanks for breaking it down. With people like Steven Spielberg and Quincy Jones as just two of the producers, not to mention the names I can't remember, Oprah sure shouldn't be the only person getting the blame.
Seeester!!! Where is the Black Cake review ?? Lmao I’m loving the uploads and that intro song is 🔥
The show with The Rock and John David Washington was called Ballers
They going to keep playing in our faces till we stand up for ourselves in our work place and relationships. Thank you for your deep analysis on everything you speak on. Love you keep doing gods work on Haitians woman’s we’re not gonna keep letting them play in our face month🙏🏽🤍 Praying for you sista🙏🏽🤍
Sis you have to do a tutorial for this makeup expeditiously!!! This look is gorgeous, especially the eyes!
She has
If I ask Friends/Family to buy me something while they're out I immediately follow it by "I will send you the money". They usually say don't worry about it because we don't keep score and they know I would do the same but its just manners to offer to pay if someone's going out of their way for you. Same applies to dating, especially as a man and what food cost $20?
Exactly!
Preach!!
I lef this comment, because it's in my heart. Because it's in my heart 🙂. He said that so many times
Girl this purple eyeshadow is everything!!!!😄💃🏽💕💕💕😍
“Why isn’t she your girlfriend?” BINGO!!! You drop so many Gems ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I’m more so concerned about the Gold patches under his eye. He’s giving scam these women and let me see my man. It’s giving January Cap or WATER SIGN Pisces!!!!!
17:35 exactly, they WILL cut corners to save in the budget. Don’t matter the size of the production… they will try to save coins on EVERYTHING
Taraji has worked with Tyler Perry before and has said in her 2019 Variety interview that, he was the first one to pay her the half a million she asked for.
If the man has been so generous in the past, why could he not have said, He could said, “I am going to cash app or zell you money to pick up food for the both of us. That would show his continued generosity.
Exactly period
Exactly. He never asked her did you eat let me cashapp you for us. Sounds like a hook-up session and now he trying to get her to pay for it .
I saw the ' Color Purple' , it was amazing. Also, Whoopi was in the beginning of the movie.
Whoopie makes an appearance in the new film! It was a surprise
I clapped when I saw her.
the way Jessie thru them arms up and turned her back in despair at those memories of September had me CACKLING at my computer!!
Praying for you on your oral care journey. I really had 8 teeth removed (4 were wisdom teeth). I’m not going to lie… recovering kinda sucked but you’ll be fine in a few weeks. And eventually it will be all done and behind you. The implant process wasn’t nearly as hard. I’m super nervous with dentist… but I made it through and you will too.
V day is when love is blind returns! Cant wait to see your reviews sis. Also I hope you get a lot sponsorships on those videos too! ❤
Yes I can't wait for it too. I love Jessie's reviews
Thank you so much for the breakdown. A Black woman always bears the brunt of the backlash for everything
Jessie you are sooo talented love your Channel . I look forward to listening to you.your the best Happy Reverend Martin Luther King Day. Celebrate on Purpose
Queen.
I think it should be clear that Mo'Nique had no issues until she was being PRESSURED to do the promotions. When they asked the first two times SHE SAID SHE TOLD THEM she was on FAMILY TIME. As they proceeded to PUSH THE ISSUE, that was when she started asking WHAT IS THE OFFER... Great job Jessie but I believe this is important. Also, I believe, the WAY Oprah addressed the issue or failed to is why she is being "blamed"... all she did was DEFEND HERSELF. Imagine if she had said, "I stepped in and assisted when called upon but I am disappointed that this was their experience, as one of the producers that was not my area of focus but it should have never happened that way" but she didn't she simply defended herself and showed up the hero... I think that is what Mo'Nique was saying. Just a thought
💯💯💯💯💯💯
What about Lee Daniels and Tyler Perry though???? They haven't addressed any of this at all. Once again, a black woman is getting the majority of the heat and being left to defend herself. While the black men get off Scot-free.
@@NamasteInYourLane are those two also on this production? Wow... didnt realize that. If that's the case, fair enough. I'm not saying Oprah should take all the responsibility, all I'm saying is she could've said more than self defense... uniting with the cast against those responsible... but perhaps that's what she did, the best way she.knew how. Thanks!
That’s really all she had to say, that it was unacceptable that any of it happened. Even if people are trying to hold all the producers accountable (which is fair), I am still side eyeing Oprah because she is the most easily accessible person in power for the cast to reach out to, is the face of the producers (her name is first in the trailer/been doing promo with the cast) and has been in the media/entertainment industry since the late 1970s. It’s unheard of that a film with a $100 million budget doesn’t have craft services, pays poorly, doesn’t have a travel coordinator/on-set transportation etc.
I love the way you broke down the video of the guy and girl at the end. Great perspective!
*Monique* !!! 💯💯
-It’s easy for society to accept a crying women
-But hard for society to accept a strong woman and is typically dismissed.
True Story 😮
Agreed.
Mhmm✍🏾
Whoopi was in this remake. Very briefly but she made a cameo which was great to see.
I think Oprah is definitely being unfairly blamed in this instance. First off, Oprah is on a TEAM of producers. A LOT of people are involved in producing a big budget film like this one. She said early on that her role was primarily promotion. I feel very confident in saying that Oprah was NOT a line producer. Her job was not to handle logistics and day to day operations (i.e. cars, food, trailers). Which is why when she was made aware of it, because again- it was not her job- she had it handled. Do we honestly believe that she didn't care about the ladies having food and trailers? Big named ladies at that?? It's not even logical. Do we believe that big named producers like Spielberg (also on this film), Michael Bay or James Cameron are down there to craft services setting up things?? No they aren't. And that wasn't her job either. ---This is a Warner Bros production. I've personally never heard anyone involved with an OWN production (e.g. cast from Greenleaf or Queen Sugar) say they didn't have basics like food or trailers.
And those of us who have seen Oprah’s productions and events since the 90s, knows that this isn’t even on brand for her. When Oprah is PERSONALLY overseeing things on her own productions, she’s very detailed. She doesn’t half step.
This is a studio issue.
Monique she have to move on my goodness it's unhealthy
I think Oprah being last on that list is why she kept asking "how did I even get in this conversation?!" Lol! You got 17 other people before you get to me. 😂
I strongly believe that you are definitely the right fit for TGIF with fox soul ❤ you are definitely a perfect candidate you are exactly what they need ….
I agree about the statement on courtship, done right, you won’t even need to ask.
Lord, thank you for bringing my partner into my life. Outside is so ghetto 😩
Amen
Thanks journalist Jessie Woo. Great break down of the issues with production on the color purple. I’ve had similar sentiments on why the only Black woman producer getting all the blame.
I actually feel like she’s taking the fall for the studio and especially since she’s been out there with these actresses doing their press run. No other producer have come out to back her up neither
🥳 Happy Jonathan Luther Kang Day Sisa! 😅🤣🤣🤣
I think for some reason people (the broader public) didn't take Mo'Nique seriously. They were 🤡 her! So, after every Black woman who spoke up after Mo'Nique, I wonder (every time) why didn't ppl take Monique as seriously as you? Is it because she was a comedian AND a Black woman? Is it because she speaks a certain way? Perceived class? Maybe it's a combination of all of the above I don't know. I also wonder if people are taking Mo'Nique more seriously today in relation to all the other women speaking up since or if it's just fake lip service.
I think most people like compassion. Monique is a very direct person you either love or hate her. A lot of ppl like to sugar coat and use sympathy. Instead of listening to Monique message they wanted to sympathize with her but couldn’t because she was not emotional. I always stood with Monique because I’m around direct people all the time. When you’re around people like that you learn to listen to the message without your feelings clouding judgement.
Blessing to you all today.
The fact that these producers have been part of huge films means they know better when it comes to how actors etc are treated. That’s why they kind of made O the face of the production. Warner Bros?? Warner Bros? The WB that has been around since the 1920s and still able to stay afloat in a very precarious economic climate? This treatment of the black actors was wilfully cruel, @TheJessieWoo ❤❤❤
41:41 I freaking love that you and yanie be shouting out each other pages
Unpopular opinion. I think Taraji should have waited afterwards to voice her valid complaints because the negative press is hurting the movie and it's dimming Fantasia's moment too.
However, the disappointment may come from the fact that a Black women of Oprah's statue is present and these Black Women are still experiencing substandard treatment. They may blackball her after this.
Amazing breakdown ‼️🫶🏾
38:30 I have been wondering this for A WHILE. I never heard anyone say anything bad about working with him and I was always curious about the pay and the culture (I'm from the NYC and now South Florida industry). I have a theory as to why that is: because Tyler Perry shoots his movies in 2-3 weeks, instead of your typical 8-12 weeks, he is saving millions of dollars of set time. So its absolutely NOTHING for him to take 50k-100k of those savings and spoil your cast and crew. Which is great. BUT... Its good and bad. Not taking the proper time to film, can leave you with a lot of goofs and mistakes that other films just don't have. For example, in "a fall from grace", the boom pole was in the shots, in the background, extras were drinking out of empty glasses, eating with no food on their forks... when you rush, you make mistakes. Also, we all know TP doesn't spend longer than 12 seconds on hair and makeup. So. There are drawbacks. Don't want to spend the time and money, then you end up with a subpar product.
Let me get some ice cream 😂 I can’t watch on empty stomach
😂
you are beyond hilarious
Nah, I need that audition tape IMMEDIATELY!
😂😂😂
Seester😂
Nice! Let me run to Target, get some food and come back and watch. Happy MLK y’all. ❤❤❤
Can you get Me some Sprinkle cupcakes and Thayers Coconut toner😂😂😊
Hope you enjoy 😉
Whoodie was in the opening scene of the movie. She was the midwife to Celie
I really think ppl should see the movie before criticizing it. Stating things like the IMDb may include ppl from the original without seeing the movie is spreading more false news.
My son did background work at Tyler Perry Studio and they really took care of us. I pray we get to work with him again
Whyyyyyy are you getting your beautiful smile redone sister! Your smile it literally perfect for you
Whoopi was in this version of color purple.. it was a egg that was planted in the beginning of the movie.. everybody in the theater I was in screamed when we saw her pop up lol
Love seeing your uploads and input Jessie! From your Canadian sisterrrrr❤
Seeeesterrr! You Always Deliver!💪🏾🔥❤️🙏🫶🏾
Good luck wit yo teefs babygirl 🙏🏾 😂! Oh and the Drag of Tamar and Thomas Jefferson was everything I needed and more. Love! ❤
"I pay for your flights", etc. is meant as a flex. Unintentionally revealed: he has money to fly or drive to see a woman, for quality food from supermarkets, restaurants (incl/ delivery), but will NOT exert energy/effort FOR her. He's upset she noticed his selfish entitlement- he wants to inconvenience her further yet says she's only someone he's "been dealing with".
😮Happy Martin Luther King day Jessie and crew. ❤❤❤❤
With Oprah being who she is, I doubt her role as a producer involved arranging transport and catering. Well below her pay grade and probably not on her radar at all.
That part. But people think coz she Oprah she do everything
Hey Jessie! I watched Black Cake and loved it. Couldn’t stand the non authentic Jamaican patois but I loved the storyline. I’m looking forward to your review. If you liked Black Cake, I want to recommend another series called Three Little Birds that beautifully tells the story of the windrush generation and their experiences after travelling from Jamaica (and other Caribbean islands) to the UK in the 1950’s. It’s shot well and even though season 1 focuses on Jamaica, I’m pretty sure the series will expand to tell the stories of other islands as well. Hoping you are able to watch. It was difficult for me to find it because it a British series on itv but if you’re able to somehow find it, I highly recommend! ❤
What's the name 🤣🍿🍷🎥🤌🏾✨
@@iamrachelrach My bad🫣- It's called Three Little Birds.
You are the funniest lady on the internet, the way I screamed in the first 5 seconds of this video.
Thank you for talking on background work. It really is the trenches
On point AS USUAL Jessie! This was SO helpful, thank you! FAVOR PLEASE? Can you do a tutorial on this makeup look during this Jonathan Luther King Majors Black Panamanian Haitian Ghanaian Womens Year or no🤔? Plez 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾. If not, what eye shadow are you rocking today? The makeup is makeupING!
I’m so corny for how hard I laughed with you in the beginning 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂knee slapped 😂😂😂 I love you Jess
I adore you Jessie❤ first off, why did Kerry get her pay day for Scandal but no one else got their pay days? Also, if the grown ass man has Uber eats, doordash or grub hub in his phone, he needs to go somewhere!
I think most of the top billing actors on Shonda’s projects all got their pay days. I noticed that when it comes to Shondaland: she makes sure her actors, especially the black lead actors are well paid.
I went to college with James Sanders. I’m so proud of him
Where’s the value of being the first or only black person in the room if you’re not going to pave the way and or impact change. Lady O has a joint venture with WBD, she’s extremely POWERFUL! She knows the CEO personally, so again she’s extremely powerful.
Thank you ! Finally a content creator that does their research before just jumping on the bandwagon and trashing Oprah. Oprah definitely bears some responsibility but she is getting ALL the blame (especially from our own community). I find it interesting that people are having a hard time saying the other producers names. I hate to say it but it’s giving that people are scared to call out men. I understand Monique wanting to hold Oprah to task, that’s fine, but when Sydney chimed in I was hoping he was going to call out Steven Spielberg and Quincy Jones.
I was never one of those people that considered Oprah powerful and certainly not Hollywood powerful. IMO, Oprah made her wealth by staying away from Hollywood - they never liked nor respected her. Keeping her show in Chicago insulated her. Throughout her career she’s always been disrespected by white and black media. Hell, if she was powerful the other producers (or their PR teams) would have released a statement to back her up. Because if Steven Spielberg would’ve been getting this heat, all the production and distribution companies involved would’ve released a statement apologizing
Oprah has had a 40+ year career in entertainment. How are you saying that a woman who has her own television network is not Hollywood powerful?
Woopi was in one scene ..she delivered Celies baby.
Girl you had me in stitches with those pics of Johnathan inserted in with our hero's 😂😂😂🤣🤣.
Eva gave a great response!
Praying for a healthy recovery. Also, Smiles by Dr Heavenly lol
Highly encourage you to watch the movie Jessie. It’s worth the time.
Jessie..... Not "Caucasians To The Fields" 🗣🗣🗣I am fkn CRYING real tears 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
regarding the video… my question would be she’s willing to give up the cookies but hitting the drive thru is where she draws the line? 😂 we gotta be fair here lol. that meal is cheaper than potential childcare
Loving this channel soooooo much Jessie you are IT !!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Taraji was in so many critically acclaimed films: Hustle&Flow, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Hidden Figures, Proud Mary, not to mention Empire was one of the biggest tv shows ever I don’t see how anyone could say she’s asking for too much
